"I dont understand or get involved much with the marketing of my talent," wrote Yami Gautam
Yami Gautam, who is hogging all the limelight post the release of her film OMG 2, was recently praised by a fan on X, previously known as Twitter, for her acting skills in the movie. When the fan went to the extent to call her "underutilised" by filmmakers, Yami Gautam responded with a long post, where she expressed her thoughts about the majority of the industry relying on "marketing". It so happened that a fan on Sunday morning posted his review on Yami Gautam's performance in OMG 2 and wrote, "It's amazing how every time Yami Gautam manages to SURPRISE us with her performance! #OMG2 is no exception. She owns every frame she's in! Even her silence speaks a lot. I hate the term ‘underrated'. I'd just say she's under-utilised by our filmmakers."

Replying to the fan's kind words, Yami Gautam elaborated on her talent for "identifying good scripts and versatile characters." Her post read, "Some people find success overnight, some people have to prove themselves persistently for years. Some people are great at marketing their talent (or lack of it), some people only want their talent to speak."
"As an actor, I just know how to act and work exceptionally hard on identifying good scripts and versatile characters, that's my talent. I don't understand or get involved much with the marketing of my talent. Unfortunately for the majority of our industry, everything relies on marketing a person or project and not on the depth of a script or character," the Kaabil actress continued.
